The 76th annual Golden Globe Awards airs this Sunday at 8 p.m. on NBC. Here, The Post’s entertainment critic Johnny Oleksinski and TV editor Michael Starr pick who should win.
Film Predictions — Johnny Oleksinski
Best Motion Picture, Drama
“Black Panther”
“BlacKkKlansman”
“Bohemian Rhapsody”
“If Beale Street Could Talk”
Winner: “A Star Is Born” The Globes will want to be first to crown this — the rare hit with both critics and crowds — the Queen of Awards Season.
Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama
Glenn Close, ”The Wife”
Winner: Lady Gaga, “A Star Is Born” The Globes have awarded Gaga before, for her so-so acting on TV’s “American Horror Story: Hotel.” They’ll do it again for her so, so great performance here.
Nicole Kidman, ”Destroyer”
Melissa McCarthy, ”Can You Ever Forgive Me?”
Rosamund Pike, ”A Private War”
Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama
Bradley Cooper, ”A Star Is Born”
Willem Dafoe, ”At Eternity’s Gate”
Lucas Hedges, ”Boy Erased”
Winner: Rami Malek, “Bohemian Rhapsody” By surprise-nominating the weakly-reviewed Queen biopic for Best Drama, Globes voters are loudly saying that Malek should get the acting prize.
John David Washington, ”BlacKkKansman”
Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy
Emily Blunt, ”Mary Poppins Returns”
Winner: Olivia Colman, “The Favourite” Delightful as Queen Anne, she’s the one sure bet for this much-admired costume drama.
Elsie Fisher, ”Eighth Grade”
Charlize Theron, ”Tully”
Constance Wu, ”Crazy Rich Asians”
Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy
Winner: Christian Bale, “Vice” What do Globes voters love more than Bale piling on — or shedding — pounds?
Lin-Manuel Miranda, ”Mary Poppins Returns”
Vigo Mortensen, ”Green Book”
Robert Redford, “The Old Man and the Gun”
John C. Reilly, ”Stan and Ollie”
Best Director
Bradley Cooper, ”A Star Is Born”
Winner: Alfonso Cuaron, “Roma” Cuaron’s ode to his childhood is considered by many to be the “Gravity” director’s magnum opus.
Peter Farrelly, ”Green Book”
Spike Lee, ”BlacKkKlansman”
Adam McKay, ”Vice”

TV Predictions — Michael Starr
Best Series, Drama
“The Americans”
“Bodyguard”
“Homecoming”
Winner: “Killing Eve” Not because it’s the best, but because people are falling over themselves regarding co-star Sandra Oh.
“Pose”
Best Series, Musical or Comedy
“Barry”
“The Good Place”
“Kidding”
“The Kominsky Method”
“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” This will win even though — and I know I’m in the minority — it plays like an over-earnest high school musical (without the music).
Best Limited Series
“The Alienist”
Winner: “The Assassination of Gianni Versace” This series copped an Emmy for Darren Criss as Andrew Cunanan — and hit all the right notes in telling the serial killer’s creepy story.
“Escape At at Dannemora”
“Sharp Objects”
“A Very English Scandal”
Best Actor in a Series, Drama
Jason Bateman, “Ozark”
Stephan James, “Homecoming”
Winner: Richard Madden, “Bodyguard” I wanted to pick Billy Porter, but Globes voters love a good, old-fashioned romantic thriller with political overtones.
Billy Porter, “Pose”
Matthew Rhys, “The Americans”
Best Actress in a Series, Drama
Caitriona Balfe, “Outlander”
Elisabeth Moss, “The Handmaid’s Tale”
Winner: Sandra Oh, “Killing Eve” But it’s really Oh’s snubbed co-star Jodie Comer whose performance is noteworthy.
Julia Roberts, “Homecoming”
Keri Russell, “The Americans”
Best Actor in a Series, Musical or Comedy
Sacha Baron Cohen, “Who Is America?”
Winner: Jim Carrey, “Kidding” The Globes are known for unorthodox choices — so why not Carrey for a dark series no one watched (but was renewed for a second season)?
Michael Douglas, “The Kominsky Method”
Donald Glover, “Atlanta”
Bill Hader, “Barry”
Best Actress in a Series, Musical or Comedy
Winner: Kristen Bell, “The Good Place” Bell carries her low-rated sitcom with panache.
Candice Bergen, “Murphy Brown”
Alison Brie, “Glow”
Rachel Brosnahan, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”
Debra Messing, “Will & Grace”
